The DZAA would like to recognize and extend our most heart-felt congratulations to our Association’s President and fellow Alumnus, Brother David Ebner, who graduated this month with his Master’s Degree from the University of Tampa. Brother Ebner obtained his MFA in Creative Writing, and he plans to pursue a career teaching Creative Writing (and quite possibly go on to get his PhD!).

Congratulations on this great accomplishment, Brother Ebner – we wish you great success with all your future endeavors!

Conference teams were designated home and away opponents and non-plays over the next four seasons. Dates of the games will be announced by the conference at a later date.

200 Posts Later…

It’s been nearly a year and a half since the DZAA website was re-vamped, and we began posting regular articles that (we hope!) would provide our Alumni with updates, news, and opportunities that would be important to them.

This post is, believe it or not, our 200th consecutive post to the DZAA website!!!

200

We hope that this website has become an important part of your weekly routine, as it provides a means whereby you can stay in touch with your Brothers and fellow Alumni – where you can learn what’s going on in their lives, and they can find out what you’ve been up to. Certainly, this website would not be the success it is without each and every one of you and the contributions you have provided over the past year and a half.

It isn’t always easy keeping up with three new posts to the website (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for those of you who haven’t been keeping track!), particularly in finding information that would be directly relevant to our Alumni. But that’s where you have played such a large part! With our “Where Are They Now?” articles, the “Chi Phi Heroes” articles, as well as some of the more personal stories that some of you have shared, you have helped keep the website not only relevant, but also poignant and memorable. And for that – we thank you!

We appreciate your continued support and feedback, and here’s looking forward to the next 200 posts!
